Go Fish



Go Fish, Vancouver BC

Is it really worth the line-up? Expect ½ hour waits on a slow day, just to get to the order window. That’s what my wait turned out to be and then another 10-15 min to pick up my order. So is it worth the wait? Yes. I know that because I’m really looking forward to going back wait and all. Go Fish is a trailer like take out joint at the Granville Island marina just west of Granville Island along the seawall. Although to be fair they do have a small deck area for eating in. Well, eating out actually because that’s were you are. Most people grab their order to go and sit out on the sea wall. Fabulous location. So maybe the appeal is combination location and eats. Digging into great fish and chips on the Vancouver waterfront is not a bad thing.
I had the Halibut and Chips. The fish was fresh. All of their fish is fresh, never frozen, major kudos. The batter was good, not great. The fish was good. Up there with the best fish and chips I’ve had. The real star for me, were the chips and tartar sauce. The tartar sauce was fantastic. It had a flavour I couldn’t quite put my finger on. It drove me mental. I’m still thinking about it. Fantastic. The fries were fresh cut, crispy, hot and just a bit greasy. I love that. And I love Go Fish.
